Water where it shouldn’t be
Before you call: the first five minutes in an Ashburn house
Loudoun Water asks every household to know where its main shutoff is before the night it’s needed. If there’s water on the floor right now, do these in order.
Close the main shutoff. It’s where the water line comes into the house, usually on a basement or crawl space wall near the water meter, or beside the water heater. A round handle turns clockwise until it stops. A lever turns a quarter turn, until it sits across the pipe.
Open the lowest faucet in the house. A basement sink or a laundry tub. It drains what’s left in the pipes and takes the pressure off the leak.
Keep water away from electricity. If water is reaching an outlet, the panel or an appliance, and you can reach a dry breaker without standing in water, switch it off. If you’d have to stand in water to reach it, stay out of that room.
Call, and say what you’ve already shut off. A person answers, day or night. What’s leaking, where, and which valves you closed tells the plumber what to bring.
Copper supply pipe and its red-handled shutoff valves, where the water comes into a Northern Virginia basement.
Loudoun Water or a plumber
Whose problem is it in Ashburn: Loudoun Water’s or yours?
Loudoun Water owns the main and the service connection, and its rules make everything from there into the house yours. Call the one that owns the pipe, so you never pay a plumber to fix the utility’s.

A leak anywhere inside the house
Us, now
The building service pipe and all the piping in the house are the owner’s, and the rules call for a registered plumber.
A hidden leak running up the bill
Us, then Loudoun Water
It can credit the overage once per account, with paperwork showing the fix. Keep our invoice.
Faucets dripping, toilets hissing, pressure high
Us, in the morning
The pressure regulator where the water line comes in is yours. Past 80 psi, it has given out.

The usual Ashburn emergencies
Common plumbing emergencies in Ashburn, and what each needs
What to do for each one until the plumber gets there, and what the repair runs.
A burst or leaking pipe
Close the main, open the lowest faucet, and get what you can out of the water’s way.
Ashburn’s plumbing is young, with one exception: around Ashburn Farm and Ashburn Village, builders were still running grey polybutylene supply pipe into the mid 1990s, and it tends to let go at the fittings. The plumber cuts out what failed, and you see the price before anything else gets opened up. The polybutylene guide on our blog.
Sewage coming up a drain
Stop using water everywhere in the house, then call Loudoun Water, and then us.
Loudoun Water checks the public sewer first and clears it if the stoppage is there. If it’s in your building sewer, clearing the main runs $550 to $1,650, and a camera look added to the same visit, $89, shows why it blocked. Drain and sewer line prices.
A leak you can hear but can’t find
Turn off every faucet and appliance and listen. Water still running with everything off is a leak.
Finding it runs $200 to $500, with acoustic and pressure work before anyone opens a wall. Loudoun Water can credit the overage on a hidden indoor leak once per account, with paperwork showing the fix, so keep our invoice. How leak detection works.
No hot water, or a leaking water heater
No hot water and no leak can wait until morning (what to check first). Water coming out of the tank can’t.
Close the cold water valve on top of the tank, then turn the gas control to off, or switch off the breaker on an electric one. A tank leaking from the bottom is finished, and a new water heater runs $2,750 to $10,500 (water heater prices). From about $46 a month at 0% APR for 60 months, the whole price financed, on approved credit. How financing works.
A sump pump that quits in a storm
Check that it’s plugged in, that its breaker hasn’t tripped, and that the float isn’t stuck against the side of the pit.
If the pump is dead, a new one in the pit you have is $697 installed. If it only needs a repair, that’s on sump pump repair.
A gas smell
Leave first. Get everyone out, don’t flip a switch or light anything, and call 911 or Washington Gas at 844-927-4427 from outside.
Once the utility has made it safe, our plumbers find and fix the leak on your side of the meter. Gas line repair.

Xavi F. arrived quickly, after 8pm ( nothing breaks during business hours, lol). He fixed the plumbing problem at hand and identified the cause of a different issue. … The after-hours service call fee is understandable.

They managed to come the same day that I called about a leak which was helpful. They cut into my ceiling (where the leak was coming from), identified it, and was able to fix it there and then.…

The price is settled before the work. Day or night, you see the number in writing before anything is taken apart.
Ashburn’s water, known. Loudoun Water’s chloramine is hard on gaskets and toilet flappers, and its rules decide whose pipe a leak is in. Our plumbers work those rules every week.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Ashburn?
After hours the plumbing visit is $250, and in regular hours the same visit is $49. The plumber finds what failed, and the repair is priced on top, in writing, before any work starts. Most burst or leaking water pipe repairs run $450 to $650.
Can I get an emergency plumber in Ashburn at night or on a weekend?
Yes. We run 24/7 emergency service out of our Ashburn office and our Chantilly shop, and a person answers (703) 997-9757 around the clock. While you wait, close the main shutoff and open a faucet on the lowest floor to take the pressure off the leak.
Should I call Loudoun Water or a plumber when the sewer backs up in Ashburn?
Loudoun Water first. Its rules have it check whether the stoppage is in the public sewer and clear it if it is. If the blockage is in your own building sewer, it tells you to hire a licensed plumber, and that’s the call we take, day or night.
Will Loudoun Water credit my bill after a hidden leak?
It can, once per account: a courtesy credit for a hidden indoor or irrigation leak, covering the overage on water and sewer, with paperwork showing the fix. Keep our invoice. If the utility spots the leak before you do, you get 30 days to repair it.
Do you fix polybutylene pipe that bursts?
Yes. Around Ashburn Farm and Ashburn Village, builders ran grey polybutylene supply pipe into the mid 1990s, and it tends to let go at the fittings. On the emergency visit we replace the section that failed, and a full repipe is priced separately, in writing, when you’re ready to talk about it.
How fast can an emergency plumber get to Ashburn?
We answer day or night, and we will tell you honestly when we can get there. Say what’s leaking and what you’ve already shut off, and you’ll know when to expect us before you hang up.
Should I pay for after hours, or can it wait until morning?
Call now for water you can’t stop, sewage coming up a drain, a water heater leaking from the tank, or a sump pump that’s quit in a storm. No hot water with no leak, one clogged toilet in a house with two, or a slow drip under a sink can wait for the $49 visit in the morning. Not sure? Call and ask. If it can safely wait, we’ll tell you so.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Get everyone out, don’t flip a switch or light anything, and call 911 or Washington Gas at 844-927-4427 from outside. Once the utility has made it safe, we repair the gas line on your side of the meter.
Are your emergency plumbers subcontractors?
No. Every plumber who comes to your house works for SwiftPro and drives a SwiftPro truck, under our Virginia Class A contractor license #2705192276.
